Hi,
I’m trying to figure out the French seam process. I can’t seem to figure out how much “extra” to add to seam allowances to make up for the French seams.
Example: if I am sewing a rectangle that is a finished size of 8 wide x 5 height and it will be sewn on the bottom and sides, but not the top, and I am using a ½ inch seam allowance on the bottom and sides, I would cut the fabric 9 x 5.5 (hope that’s right).
But if I want to add French seams on the sides only, do I need to cut the fabric larger? This might have a simple answer, but it’s new to me.
ACTUALLY, I guess I am wondering if anything changes as far as my seam allowances…Thanks so much.
Just add 5/8 inch seam allowance to each seam. 1/4 + 3/8 = 5/8. All the best.
Thanks so much
